Please let me know what is the Best Air-cooled SOCKET A cooler now ?

I've been looking at Globalwin WBK38 , Gladiator Copper

Alpha and swiftech is out of reach for me 🙁

Any inputs appreciated

Any Heatsink approved for 1.4ghz by AMD. They are not that many but all of them are good. Do you like them quiet or do you want to do some heavy overclocking?
 
I don't really care that much about noise... I am in a room with 4 computers, 3 monitors, 3 network equipment with fans ... so adding one noisy athlon cooler wouldn't hurt 😛😀

Anyway, preferably for overcloking. I'd like to take Athlon 1.2 Ghz to its limit ..

Thanks for the inputs. Still waiting for a few suggestions...
 
You may change your mind when people start recomending coolers with the delta on it, that thing is loud, but it does cool well.
 


<< mikef208, which delta cooler ? any links or prod number?

Thanks

60mm Delta: 6800RPM 38CFM 46.5dBa
80mm Delta: 4900RPM 68.5CFM 48.5dBa
 
Despite all the controversy, I'd get the Glaciator. It is less expensive than the SK6 and uses a less noisy fan.

According to these temps utilizing palimino's internal diodes, the glaciator cools better:

---------------------------
With a thermocouple I noticed much better performance than what MBM was telling me in the case of the GLAC, up to 4C. On top of that, with the Palomino's (which have an internal diode) I am getting the same temperatures with both, and 1C cooler with the GLAC. So here is what I mean:

MBM using mobo thermisitor
GLAC: 43C
SK6: 40C

With Thermocouple
GLAC: 39C
SK6: 40C

Using internal diode (remember, this temps are from inside the core so they are higher than ont he outside)

GLAC: 57-58C
SK6: 58-59C (it hovers)

The internal diode seems VERY sensitive to me.

So now, if anyone can tell me how AIR flow would in ANY way effect the internal diode of the Palomino in a way that would show false readings, I would love to hear it because I sure as hell can;t think of any. That is what really did it for me. I have been testing them both as the same time on indentical systems with identical chips and the GLAC's reading fromt he internal diode is always 1C cooler than the SK6 (that's running G@H and 3dmark 2001 loops to get to full load) all the time.

You can find the post here.
 
I would go with the Glaciator if I were you its cooling bigtime for me. BTW sad I thought there were no boards out yet that could use the cpu diode???
 
Sad, about your sig:

Why underclocked and loving it? What's the advantage? Higher bus speed and lower voltage? Are you getting better performance this way?

Thanks,

Renob-

It's a little weird. If you go to page 2 of that thread, jackieo wrote the board used was the Iwill KD266. I have no idea what that board's about since it utilizes the ALI chipset. I was assuming it would have been the Tyan Thunder K7, since Jackieo also has that board. So who knows, I guess there are at least 2 boards now that can monitor the internal diode?😕

Crittias-

Well, I love it because it's so much quieter. Better performance? Definitely not compared to my previous setup. Though I can't really feel any reduction in speed since anything over 1ghz is overkill anyhow.

 


<< I've been looking at Globalwin WBK38 , Gladiator Copper

Since you are considering the wbk38 why don't you buy a fop 38 instead. It is a little cheaper and every review I have read say there is basically no difference in how they cool. Good cooler but loud.

Blasphemy! Kill the infidel, now!!
